The CUHK delegates met with Prof. Wang Jian, Director of BGI and scientists of BGI research teams. During the visit, the delegates gave presentations on potential collaborative research projects and the two parties reviewed the existing collaborations and explored new opportunities.

Since the collaboration agreement in establishing "The CUHK-BGI Genome Research Centre" signed in 2009, CUHK and BGI have carried out various projects together such as research collaboration and joint supervision of postgraduate students. The visit further strengthened the unity and paved the way for further cooperation.
